Etiquette and basic rules , the first step in "how to play petanque" We have a new online course , courtesy of Tom Bricca Adapted for use from "the Epping Petanque Club Training Manual"
1. Etiquette, just common sense rules
• a. Never throw a boule if a player or spectator is in front
• b. Quiet & Still when someone is in the Playing Circle (Think Golf)
• c. Observe the game adjacent to the Jack (2 meters away), not behind the circle.
• e. Don't walk across other games
Petanque is a remarkably safe sport
We have done some redesigning here, and things are starting to look a bit more like 2013. The last change was back in 2005, and that was our 5th redesign. So here we are in the middle of our 6th change since 1996.
FInally there is a petanque-app for the android-users out there. And it is free. The perfect xmas-present perhaps?
We have set up a system that will publish 2 new postcards to twitter every day from petanque.org. It will not work forever of course, in only 2,5 years we will start with re-runs of cards we have already previously published on Twitter . We do have a lot of petanque-postcards here.
We have a very nice collection of postcards here on petanque.org, and all of them are about petanque of course. Currently we have more than 1750 postcards available for your enjoyment.
